I was wondering if anyone else had one of these wheels. I came across an add in an import car mag that advertised removable steering wheels, like they use in most forms of pro racing. I checked their site and sure enough they made a connecting hub for the 240. I got the wheel really because i thought it was cool, and when in my 240 i get this idea that i'm some sorta race car driver. But anyway the quality of the leather wheel is very good in my opinion and whats more i can take it off and no one can steal my car with out it. Of course anything is possible but what car thief carries a spare steering wheel (the company does say that you need the exact hub to put another wheel on and no two are the same). Ok 240's aren't on the high list of the average car thief but hey i built my car with my bare hands and i don't want some punk joy riding in it. Also whenever i need to dig around behind my dash i can take it off with a simple key and push of two opposing buttons. Putting in my Corbeau seats was a little easyer too on the drivers side. Just thought i'd throw that out there and see if anyone else had one or liked the idea.

Thanks 2ManyZs i thought that you probably had to use newer Z turn signals but wasn't sure.

I will send picks soon of the air dam and i only say bumber/air dam because although the stock bumper is not used the air dam it's self sticks out a little to provide a little protection i suppose. Anyway i did alot of research before i put this air dam on, that is in the installation of it because i am not a body man. So i'll just pass on my experience for any that might like to know. First i talked to former owner of ZTherepy Scott Brunning ( i hope i got his name right) and then i bought his video fiberglass installation wich ZTherepy still sells. The quality of msa body parts are pretty good but be warned there is some minor work to be done before you can install properly. First i took my rotory tool and ground out about a quarter of an inch on both sides because it didn't fit quite right. Then i mocked up the air dam and held it in place with quick grips for a good all round inspection. With about an hour of grinding here and there i felt i was ready to put it on. I couter sunk several bolt holes on each side where ever fiberglass and the body of the car met. I sanded the jell coat off in areas that i wanted to lay my fiberglass body filler and glue. I slaped it together and tightend down the bolts. Futher ensuring that the air dam will never come off i took fiberglass mat soaked in resin and hardener and layed it on the underside. I then took fiberglass body filler and filled in any gaps,let dry and sanded smooth. I think i did a pretty good job for somone who has never done it before. However i will say that i really need to put on the 16in wheels and lowering springs i want to make it look right. I have 14 wheels right now which don't fill the wheel wells, just something you might want to think about before adding body work.

I just installed an msa air dam on my 240z and i have a question about what turn signals i should use instead of the stock ones. The air dam is the same one as pictured on the home page of this site, and i wish that i had thought of cutting holes in it like the owner of that Z did. I ask because in the msa catalog there are a couple of cars pictured with the same air dam that have thier turn signals between the top of the air dam and hood. This was my intention from the start to install turn signal just like that. I just wandered if there was a particular signal light used perhaps from a different year Z.

I like the fact that Nissan built the 350 with the 240 in mind at least that's what it looks like to me. It seems that there is a trend to mix classic styles with modern designs these days and i can appreciate that. However i've always thought that Z cars just got ugly after the 240, cluncky and ungainly looking. It's nice to see that the Z is going back to it's roots.
